As kids growing up in Seaford, we knew Mr. White from his time spent walking his dogs through the neighborhood. There aren't many families who have resided in the neighborhood for 50+ years.
Later, when in I was in high school, Bill took the time to teach me the art of magic. Not only did he teach me the technical skills, gave me opportunities to assist with his illusion show and trusted me to perform at various functions...but he taught a shy kid how to stand in front of people and entertain them. That was a great trick in itself.
Bill helped shaped the person I am now. I will be forever grateful.
To this day, I can remember when I performed the Invisible Deck in a math class. I think the teacher spent the rest of the year trying to get me to explain how it was done :) (Luckily Google was not available at that time).
Rest in peace, Bill. You and your family will be in my family's prayers.
